My goal is to bring out the best in both the company and the overall team. I see myself as an active participant and contributor and don't really like standing on the sidelines. Instead, I prefer to get into the trenches with you, so we can solve problems and build solutions together.
As someone who has had the opportunity to work alongside some of the best founders and operators in the world across Silicon Valley and APAC, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and skills with newfound entrepreneurs and leaders towards helping them build something that is scalable, sustainable and that will stand the test of time.

In all my years working at startups to scale-ups, I've come to the realisation that every company is different. Each leadership team I've come across is also unique, with needs best suited for their startup. For this reason, here are a few FAQs on working together.
Free 1-2 hour consultation -- yes, it's quite long but my job is to truly understand your needs as a founder and how I can support you in the best way possible. This allows me to fully gauge you as a founder(s), but also gives you the chance to know me and see if I'm the right fit for you. The consultation is usually very casual but we'll go into the weeds on what you're looking for and how I can help.
